Send your city planner a link to the <a href="http://www.vtpi.org/tdm/index.php">Online Encyclopedia of Transportation Demand Management strategies</a>. The Victoria Transport Policy Institute was mentioned in a <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/41225/Out-of-the-frying-pan-and-into-the-fire#905676">comment</a> back in 2005, but not the encyclopedia, which is one of the most complete online transportation resources that I've run across lately. tag:metafilter.com,2008:site.71510Thu, 08 May 2008 21:04:26 -0800salvia
